This is strange because it appears to be the most recent version of GNU tar which I believe supported acls back as far as 1.14 though I'm not really sure. Among other things, I suspect this would break the Yast based backup and restore tools since all ACL would be lost during a restore. Also, the SLE training that Novell offers also has an entire section dedicated to advanced access control lists so it would seem important to support them with tar. The solution does not seem to be as simple as a version upgrade since SUSE seems to have the most recent version of GNU tar, yet acl support is not included even though GNU tar seems to have had this for quite some time, at least according to this man page: http://linux.die.net/man/1/tar Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
